Transitioning out of Healthcare Management

[cookderosa]

Hello,

I am almost completed with my undergrad at NYU for Healthcare Management. I'm not sure if this is what I want to be doing. I currently work in an office setting, and I want to do something that is more involved with people or more along the clinical side. Any ideas of what I would be able to complete my master's in which would not be difficult to get into with a healthcare management background?

Knowing what you spent to get the degree your getting, my suggestion is to spend a lot of time doing job shadows, interning, interviewing employees, and researching before signing up for a masters that you may or may not want to even do.

I'm not being critical, I'm being serious. Generally, the undergrad part of the degree is the part you can do for pennies on the dollar- grad school is expensive and specialized, and assumes a foundation.
Clinical work, in almost every field, requires significant 100/200 level sciences. Your core (if this is the same program http://www.scps.nyu.edu/academics/depart...ed_Courses) is mainly in business. So, are you thinking you want to go back and do something like earn an RN? Or are you thinking you want to shift to something like medical school? A lot of the occupations on Sanantone's list require a state license, which will mean strict parameters around the school you choose and the degree you earn. Honestly, I suggest taking some time off to decide before re-enrolling. But that's just my opinion, there are other good suggestions here too.
